NOTE. 


Reference  in  following  lists  of  DUPLICATES  is  made  to  the  pages  of  the  new  complete  cata- 
logue of  the  Marine  Mollusks  of  Japan,  with  descriptions  and  illustrations  of  new  species,  and  notes 
on  others— the  collections  of  Frederick  Stearns— by  Henry  A.  Pilsbry,  Conservator  of  the  Conchologi- 
cal  Section  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  U.  S.  A. 

The  above  catalogue  was  published  by  Frederick  Stearns,  1895,  pp.  204,  plates  XI,  140  figures. 
Price  in  paper  covers,  $1.00;  bound  in  cloth,  $1.50.  If  by  mail,  12  cents  extra  must  be  sent  for  pre- 
paying postage.  (See  advertisement  on  last  page  of  cover.) 

I  desire  and  expect  to  use  these  duplicates  to  obtain  in  exchange  from  other  and  original  col- 
lectors, desirable  species  of  shells,  echinoderms,  crustaceans,  star  fishes,  corals,  sponges,  etc.,  etc., 
not  now  in  my  collection. 

Persons  receiving  this  list  and  desiring  to  exchange  will  send  me  a  list  of  what  they  have  to  offer 
of  the  rarer  species,  not  necessarily  showy  or  striking,  among  which  new  and  undetermined  species 
and  varieties  will  be  welcome,  so  long  as  they  are  known  to  be  such,  and  from  the  hands  of  the 
original  collectors.  I  have  no  lists  of  desiderata  to  send  to  any  one. 

Postal  charges  in  all  cases  to  be  paid  by  the  sender  and  not  by  the  receiver,  unless  under  special 
arrangements  to  the  contrary.  The  charges  on  large  shells,  or  on  large  parcels  of  shells  which  can 
not  be  sent  by  mail,  but  which  must  go  by  express,  or  as  freight  by  rail,  must  be  paid  by  the  receiver. 

Correspondence  will  be  acceptable  in  Spanish,  German,  French,  Portuguese,  as  well  as  English. 

Persons  having  rare  shells  which  they  prefer  to  sell  for  cash  only  will  be  treated  with. 

The  prices  affixed  to  the  shells  on  this  list  are  believed  to  be  reasonable,  and  in  offering  shells  for 
exchange  I  expect  my  correspondent  will  affix  a  price  to  each  species  offered,  in  order  that  an 
exchange  or  sale  may  be  evenly  and  promptly  adjusted. 

This  list  comprises  the  duplicates  of  the  collections  of  two  visits  to  Japan,  1889-90  and  1892.  The 
quantity  of  new  material  obtained  Jm'tfcs  la&  \£sft  fiQl&yJbdJthe  issue  of  this  list  for  reason  that  two 
years  passed  before  the  new  and  ccnipfete  'catalogue'  of  Jt»pan  Marine  Shells  could  be  written  and 
published.  •  «  «  9*  .<  *  e»c  « • «  •  ",*««*• 

A  list  of  DUPLICAT/F/'LoJo  C£0o,f^a*vatian;  ajid  SfculVf eji  flhella  was  printed  in  1894,  but  not 
mailed  to  conchologists  until  "now  (189&)/when  it  is  enclosed  with  this  list. 

In  ordering,  please  give  the  name  of  the  list,  whether  Japanese,  Loo  Choo,  Hawaiian,  or  other. 
Mention  page  and  species,  number  wanted,  and  price. 

Collectors  and  dealers  wishing  any  of  these  shells,  and  not  having  desirable  species  to  offer  in 
exchange,  will  please  write  their  wishes. 

Some  species  are  in  considerable  numbers,  and  shell  dealers  wishing  to  purchase  such  may  write 
for  particulars. 

Where  two  prices  are  given,  it  is  for  varying  sizes,  quality,  or  quantity. 

The  largest  number  of  species  of  shells  in  the  new  catalogue  are  those  of  rare  museum  types  here 
and  abroad,  and  of  those  of  which  I  only  found  one  or  few,  and  hence  those  are  retained  as  types 
in  my  personal  general  collection  now  displayed  in  the  rooms  of  the  Detroit  Scientific  Museum.

LIST  OF  DUPLICATES   OF 


COLLECTED  PERSONALLY  IN  THE 

LOO  CHOO  ISLANDS,  HAWAIIAN  ISLANDS,  ETC 
-  1  894  > 


LOO  CHOO  ISLAND  SHELLS, 


The  Loo  Choo  Islands  (Lew  Chew,  Liu  Kiu,  or  Riu  Kiu)  include  the  whole 
series  extending  in  a  northeast  and  southeast  direction  from  Japan  proper  to  the 
Island  of  Formosa.  Within  the  northern  group  lies  the  intersection  of  130°  east 
longitude  and  30°  north  latitude,  and  in  the  southern  group  that  of  125°  east 
longitude  and  25°  north  latitude.  At  the  present  time  they  belong  to  the  Jap- 
anese Empire. 

In  the  summer  of  1891,  I  sent  Morizo  Seto,  my  Japanese  collector,  to  those 
islands,  where  he  remained  collecting  for  nearly  a  year.  The  results  of  the  trip 
were  somewhat  disappointing  as  to  new  species,  inasmuch  as  the  Loo  Choo  spe- 
cies belong  more  to  the  better  known  Indo-Pacific  fauna  than  they  do  to  the 
fauna  of  the  Japanese  seas. 

A  detailed  list  of  the  367  species  found  forms  an  appendix  to  the  new  and 
complete  catalogue  of  Japanese  marine  shells  published  by  me,  1894. 

In  the  following  are  those  species  of  which  I  have  sufficient  duplicates  to  offer 
correspondents  in  exchange,  or  which  are  for  sale  for  cash  at  the  affixed  prices 
each.  Of  quite  a  number  on  this  list  I  have  perhaps  less  than  a  dozen  specimens 
each,  and  with  these  it  will  be,  of  course,  first  come,  first  served.  Of  the  rest, 
specimens  are  more  numerous 

Persons  receiving  this  list  and  desiring  to  exchange,  will  send  me  a  list  of 
what  they  have  to  offer,  which  must  be  specimens  in  good  condition,  living 
shells,  and  preferably  in  all  cases,  such  as  have  been  collected  by  the  person 
desiring  to  exchange. 

Postage  or  express  charges  to  be  paid  by  the  sender,  except  for  heavy  and 
low-priced  shells,  or  unless  otherwise  arranged  for. 

As  I  am  absent  from  home  much  of  the  time  on  long  extended  tours  of  travel, 
correspondence  directed  as  per  address  below  will  be  forwarded  to  me  if  absent, 
but  at  such  times  the  delay  in  arranging  exchanges  will  be  considerable.

HAWAIIAN  AND  SOUTH  SEA  SHELLS. 


The  following  is  a  list  of  Marine,  F.  W.  and  Land  Shells,  collected  per- 
sonally in  the  Hawaiian  Islands  in  1892,  and  also  a  number  of  species  purchased 
at  the  Islands  from  collections  made  in  the  South  Seas  and  brought  thereto  by 
the  Missionary  Steamer,  Morning  Star. 

These  Shells  are  for  sale  at  the  affixed  prices,  or  they  may  be  had  in  exchange 
for  other  desirable  species  not  in  my  collection,  particularly  for  such  as  have  been 
personally  collected  by  correspondents. 

Postage  and  other  charges  to  be  met  by  the  sender  unless  otherwise  arranged, 
except  for  heavy  or  low-priced  shells. 

In  making  exchanges,  the  values  placed  upon  such  species  by  dealers  is  to  be 
considered,  rather  than  exchange  of  species  for  species,  or  shell  for  shell. 

I  have  also  a  printed  list  of  Shells  for  exchange  or  sale,  collected  in  Japan  at 
two  different  visits.  It  may  be  had  on  application. 

A  new  and  complete  list  of  Japanese  Marine  Shells  will  be  published  by  me 
in  October,  1894,  embodying  my  own  collections,  new  to  science,  or  not  before 
reported  from  Japan,  since  Bunker's  work  in  1882,  with  critical  notes  by  Prof. 
H.  A.  Pilsbry,  and  with  illustrations  of  new  species.

NEW  CATALOGUE 

OP  THE 

Marine  Mollusks  of  Japan 

WITH  DESCRIPTIONS   AND   ILLUSTRATIONS    OF 

NEW  SPECIES  AND   NOTES 

ON  OTHERS 

COLLECTED  BY  FREDERICK  STEARNS. 


BY 


HENRY  A.  PILSBRY, 

Conservator  Conchological  Section  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences, 
of  Philadelphia. 


This  catalogue  grew  from  the  research  incidental  to  the  identifica- 
tion of  the  mollusca  procured  by  Frederick  Stearns  during  two  visits 
)  Japan  A  portion  of  the  collection  made  in  1889-'90  having  been 
submitted  to  Mr.  Pilsbry  for  identification,  it  was  found  to  contain  a 
number  of  new  and  interesting  species,  some  of  which  were  described 
and  figured  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of 
Philadelphia  for  1891,  and  in  The  Nautilus. 

A  much  more  extensive  collection  was  secured  by  Mr.  Stearns  upon 
his  second  visit  to  Japan  (1892),  and  it  was  found  necessary  to  review 
so  considerable  an  amount  of  conchological  literature  in  its  identifica- 
tion that  it  seemed  desirable  to  collate  all  the  references  to  Japanese 
mollusks  subsequent  to  the  date  of  Bunker's  excellent  work,  Index 
MoUuscomm  Marls  Japonic!,  as  well  as  those  not  contained  m  that 
catalogue  and,  together  with  descriptions  and  figures  of  the  new  forms 
discovered  bv  Mr.  Stearns,  to  publish  a  new  catalogue  of  Japanese 
marine  mollusca.  The  present  volume  contains  about  five  hundred 
species  more  than  Bunker's  Index,  although  a  considerable  number 
of  forms  enumerated  by  him  are  herein  considered  synonyms  or  are  re- 
iected  from  the  Japanese  list.  Forty  species  and  eight  varieties  be- 
lieved to  be  new,  are  described  and  illustrated,  including  some  of  which 
diagnoses  have  already  appeared  in  The  Nautilus,  and  the  species  of 
certain  families,  such  as  Patellidae,  Fissurellidae,  etc.,  are  somewhat 

critically  revised 

The  work  consists  of  three  portions:  A  list  of  marine  mollusks 
which  have  been  stated  to  inhabit  Japan  from  Yezzo  to  Kiushiu,  with 
references  to  description  or  figures  of  most  species,  and  enumeration 
of  the  special  localities  at  which  each  species  has  been  found  by 
previous  naturalists  or  by  Mr.  Stearns.  This  is  followed  by  a  eata- 
lo<me  of  the  Inland  mollusks  taken  by  Mr.  Stearns  in  Japan;  and 
finally  a  list  of  mollusks  of  the  Loo  Choo  group  procured  by  Mr. 
Stearns  is  given.
